A relative image path

An absolute path

WordPress page templates need an absolute link. You can hardcode the whole absolute link, but that gets tedious and can break your code if you ever have to change your file structure. The best bet is to use the bloginfo(‘template_directory’); function to do it for you.

bloginfo(‘template_directory’); is a PHP function that inserts the path to your template directory. Therefore, <?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’);?> equals “http://www.buckleupstudios.com/wp-content/themes/themeFolder” after PHP does its magic.
